Yes, those threads will wear out on the Lux shockmounts eventually...but heck they are only 5 bucks each so I can't be too mad at them ;p

So to remedy this problem I decided to just make a homemade vert bar with 3/8" threads so I can leave the metal adapter pieces in the shockmounts that came with them and use those.   The plastic threading doesn't get stripped this way.
